The orSlow New Yorker Shorts are one of our favorite on-the-go shorts. Cut with a roomy top block, these are excellent for active lifestyles or those who just love something more relaxed. This Typewriter Cloth is a super lightweight 100% cotton fabric, with a feel of soft polyester, but instead made from all cotton. This is an excellent alternative to the more technical ripstop fabric used on their standard New Yorker Pants and Shorts.
Note: Due to the roomy top block and elastic waistband, most folks can probably size down for a slimmer fit. Measurements of the waist are provided with a lower and upper range, with the lower being the waistband (front and back rise) pulled even at the top, but at rest; and the upper end with the band pulled taut with minimal effort. Because of the elastic band, the waist measurements are a good fit range, but can be smaller (using drawstrings) or larger (if you really wanted to pull it to the extreme). Put another way, if you own the orSlow Slim Fit Fatigue Pants in Green, you can take another size down for a similar fit (e.g. if you wear size 3 in the Slim Fit Fatigue Pants, take size 2 in the New Yorker). Note that as you go down in size, the leg opening and overall inseam length get smaller. Recommend machine wash cold, hang dry.
Model: 6'0'' and 175 lbs (currently closer to 165 lbs), with moderate "lifter" thighs, wearing size 1 for a slimmer fit through the legs, which is a bit snug when sitting and/or moving, but is doable. For a more comfortable fit in the legs, model would probably do size 2 (especially at 175 lbs).
